How well Lower Atlas holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing northeast at an average 10°, Lower Atlas gets about 85% of the winter sun that flat ground at Greek Peak does, December through March. That's sunnier than 53% of the runs we've measured, and the 21st sunniest named run at Greek Peak. Its top sits at 1,680 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
